GARBAGE-RECEPTACLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 357,258, dated February8, 1887.

Application filed August 19, 1386. ScrialNo. 211,259. (No model.)

1' 0 aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it.known that I, EDGAR GRANVILLE XANDER, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Mansfield, in the county of Rich- 5 land and Stateof Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garbage-Receptacles; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figuresof reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The special object of the invention is to pro duce an air-tightgarbage-receptacle which may receive the material 'at'the house, beconveniently handled, and easily transported, an empty receptacle beingexchanged for a full one. This will render unnecessary any change at thehouse from a sink to a transportable receptacle, and the consequentlyunhealthy pollution of the air.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a plan View of the garbage-receptaclefastened so as to be air-tight. Fig. 2 is a vertical section with theclamp-lever turned so that the lid is locked in place, and Fig. 3 is aperspective'view of the cover.

In the drawings, A represents my garbagereceptacle, which consists ofthe staves a, surrounded by, preferably, eight iron'hoops, B B, thefourth hoop B being made much larger and heavier than the others, so asto rest behind the Wagon sand-boards when tipping it on the wagon, andto afford a hold forthe Wagoner when putting it on and taking it 0E thewagon.

(J is the lid or cover, which fits inside the staves, formed of crossedboards, and is provided with the annular packing a on its edge to insureair-tightness. On top and in the center of the cover I pivot adiametrical bar, D, on the screw E, whose head is on the under side, andwhose threaded upper end is provided with a nut, E. At equal distancesfrom the center of cover the, bar D has an open crossslot, d, theopenings being in reverse directions. Diametricall y opposite to eachother are arrangedthe screw-bolts F F, whose threaded ends project abovethe barrel and are provided with nuts G, and, if desired, with thewashers H. The lower end of these screwbolts is flattened, so as toproject at right angles to the shank on both sides, and thus form aT-bol-t. In each arm f is made a bolt-hole,

f, through which passes a bolt, I, from the.

directions, the receptacle being provided with thediametrically-opposite screw-bolts F F and nuts G G, whereby the nutsmay be loosened, the bar turned, and the cover lifted or removed, as setforth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

EDGAR GRANVILLE XANDER.
